Moonlight Sentinel

Created for America’s 250th anniversary year, Moonlight Sentinel honors one of the most enduring symbols of the American wilderness: the bison. Once driven to the edge of extinction, then brought back through one of the greatest conservation efforts in history, the buffalo stands as a symbol of resilience, survival, and national character.

This Founders Edition was created in response to the 2026 Gold Buffalo Proof release from the U.S. Mint—translating the spirit of that numismatic moment into fine art.

Rendered in rich impasto style, Moonlight Sentinel places the American bison alone on the Great Plains beneath a rising moon. Storm light gathers in the distance. The open plains stretch beyond him. The animal stands unmoved.
